Visiting Artist and Scholar Program Continues with Hilary Mushkin at Boise State University

Artist Hillary Mushkin will speak at 6 p.m. Oct. 25 in the Student Union Building Barnwell Room at Boise State University. Mushkin's appearance is part of the Department of Art's Visiting Artist and Scholar Program and is free and open to the public. Free parking will be available in the Liberal Arts Parking Lot, just west of the Student Union.

Mushkin works in a variety of different mediums. "My works on paper and in video, animation and installation explore the ways virtual and physical places are imagined and used," she says. "In the past several years I have been particularly interested in how nostalgic American ideals of comfort and security shape our environment and society. In my most recent work, the trajectories of the contemporary American idyll and remote control militarism intersect."

Mushkin's work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, New York, England and Germany, among many others. She is a graduate of UC Irvine and received an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design.
